Monrovia School Board: Video Game Design, Dual Immersion, Cheaper Website

At its next meeting (agenda: http://goo.gl/D7AKmL ), the Monrovia School Board will, among other things, ...

- Consider offering courses in video game design and Spanish language and culture.

- Receive a report on its dual-language immersion programs. The report says Spanish-speaking students go from 90% Spanish-teaching in kindergarten to 50% in fifth grade. ( http://goo.gl/6mHWqt ) Comment: Hmmm. So... if by age five when they enter kindergarten the kids are speaking 100% Spanish, why can't they be speaking 100% English after another five years when they are in fifth grade?

- Consider going with a less expensive company to host its website. http://goo.gl/oLPUjp
